Had another Fantastic Yoga Class early this morn. at Lulu Lemon, it’s free on Sundays at 8 a.m. Coming out of the class, the snow was coming down and the people were going up!

Thought I’d come home and make a … Continue reading ~ Quinoa Breakfast Salad with a little… snow and yoga

I received a Cook Book called “Mother’s Cook Book” from my daughter years ago when she was in Elementary School…. wow has it been that long!!! And inside this Book was Michaela’s Favourite Recipe, a ridiculously simple Banana Bread that I have baked tons of times now! Originally, it asked for 1 Cup of sugar for a loaf, but I wittled that down to 1 … Continue reading ~ Banana Bread Veganized ~

Back at home, back in the ski resort bubble…. (Raul said, “Antigua is like living in a bubble”, so I guess I bounced from one bubble to the other!)… all I could think of when it came to dinner was quesadillas, tacos, refried beans, guacamole, rice…. so I kinda made up my own little thing with Pita Bread! It was definitely tasty and good variety! … Continue reading ~ Back at Home with Hummus and Gardein Crispy Tenders ~

But the heart knows where you are comfortable and your soul will tell you… tears come to my eyes remembering, wanting to be back there “now”! I have great memories with my family and … Continue reading ~ “I will be back Antigua!” & Veganism as a Human Right ~

Today’s excursion took us to the Café Bohème, another very cool, funky, chill place to eat and drink and chat and catch up on e-mails…… or whatever else you do on-line. We ate an “ensalada Linda” with plenty of lettuce, and apple slices and avocado, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and raisins with the house vinaigrette. Chapada bread on the side, and of course a latte … Continue reading ~ Café Bohème and Animal Hero Kids ~

We found Rainbow Café yesterday and what a find! Amazing in all realms! Such a funky, fun place to sit and eat and drink and catch up on some e-mails…. The pita stuffed with vegetables was amazing….tomatoes, lettuce, a few onions, humus, guacamole with a small side of cubed up cucumbers and peeled carrot strips and another little side of salsa…. salsa I could eat! … Continue reading ~ Vegy Stuffed Pitas, Dirty Bananas and Wendy’s Black Bean Burgers ~

Such an incredible sauce, so incredibly delicious, I can’t even describe it, sorry…..but hidden underneath the sauce is refried beans and guacamole topped with green onions, and I think little chunks of fish, so we just tossed those to the side…. the natchos so crunchy….we’ll definitely be coming … Continue reading ~ Natchos and Quesadillas from Antigua ~
